3 BACKGROUND Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas is associated with a poor prognosis. Even after resection of small tumours without regional lymph node involvement, five-year survival rates remain low at around 20 percent. 1 The diagnosis of pancreas cancer may be preceded by non-specific symptoms (e.g.: fatigue, anorexia, weight loss, dull epigatric pain). Early satiety, malabsorption, steatorrhea, glucose intolerance, and jaundice (from extra-hepatic biliary obstruction) may also occur. Risk factors include age, male gender, chronic pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus type 2, germline mutations in P 16 and BRCA2, and a familial predisposition (e.g.: multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1, hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer). There is a dose-response relationship with smoking 2 and an association with processed meat consumption. Although disease confined to the pancreas may be amenable to a pancreaticoduodenectomy or distal pancreatectomy, involvement of the celiac axis or superior mesenteric artery, venous occlusion at the confluence of the superior mesenteric and portal veins, or metastatic disease represents unequivocally unresectable disease. Direct extension to the duodenum, bile duct, or peri-pancreatic tissue with or without isolated involvement of the superior mesenteric vein or portal vein may still be amenable to resection. This guideline was developed to outline the management recommendations for patients with pancreatic cancer (adenocarcinoma). For specific recommendations for the management of malignant biliary obstruction, please refer to the Malignant Biliary Obstruction clinical practice guideline. GUIDELINE QUESTIONS What are the recommendations for the diagnostic workup of adult patients with adenocarcinoma of the pancreas? What are the treatment recommendations for adult patients with potentially curable adenocarcinoma of the pancreas? What are the management recommendations for adult patients with unresectable cancer of the pancreas? DEVELOPMENT AND REVISION HISTORY This guideline was reviewed and endorsed by the Alberta Provincial Gastrointestinal Tumour Team. Members of the Alberta Provincial Gastrointestinal Tumour Team include medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgical oncologists, hepatologists, gastroenterologists, interventional radiologists, nurses, nurse practitioners, pathologists, and pharmacists. Evidence was selected and reviewed by a working group comprised of members from the Alberta Provincial Gastrointestinal Tumour Team and a Knowledge Management Specialist from the Guideline Resource Unit. A detailed description of the methodology followed during the guideline development process can be found in the Guideline Resource Unit Handbook. This guideline was originally developed in January This guideline was revised in March 2009, August 2009, March 2010, June 2011, October 2013, March 2014, June 2015 and November Page 3 of 11

4 SEARCH STRATEGY This guideline was developed to promote evidence-based practice in Alberta. It was compiled from the results of randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews, derived from an English language and relevant term search of PubMed and MEDLINE from 1990 forward. It takes into consideration related information presented at local, national, and international meetings as well as the Alberta Provincial Gastrointestinal Tumour Team s interpretation of the data. For the 2017 update of this guideline, recommendations were modified based on a consensus discussion at the 2017 Annual Gastrointestinal Tumour Team Meeting. However, no formal update of the literature was performed. TARGET POPULATION The recommendations outlined in this guideline apply to adults over the age of 18 years with pancreatic cancer. Different principles may apply to pediatric patients. RECOMMENDATIONS AND DISCUSSION Suggested Diagnostic Work-Up A CT scan of the chest and abdomen with or without an MRI of the abdomen (and other tests, as clinically indicated) distinguish between resectable and unresectable disease.

To render the patient free of disease and to delay or prevent recurrence. 2. To improve the patient s quality of life. Table 2. Treatment Recommendations for Potentially Curable Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas. Stage Recommendations Stage 0 TisN0M0 Perform Whipple pancreaticoduodenectomy or distal pancreatectomy to resect disease with macroscopically clear margins. Resectable Disease Perform Whipple pancreaticoduodenectomy or distal pancreatectomy to resect disease with Stage IA T1N0M0 macroscopically clear margins. Stage IB T2N0M0 Consider adjuvant treatment on a clinical trial, if available. Stage IIA T3N0M0 Six four-week cycles of IV Gemcitabine with oral Capecitabine 3. Stage IIB T1-3N1M0 Alternatively, six four-week cycles of Leucovorin 20 mg/m 2 IV followed by 5-Fluorouracil 425 mg/m 2 IV on each of five consecutive days has been shown to increase the median survival from 15.5 months to 20.1 months, the two-year survival from 30% to 40%, and the five-year survival from 8% to 21% when compared to no further treatment. 4-6 Alternatively, six four-week cycles of Gemcitabine (1,000 mg/m 2 IV over thirty minutes on days 1,8 and 15) 5,7 may be offered. Adjuvant chemotherapy should be initiated within twelve weeks of surgery. Follow-up after resection: There is no evidence of survival improvement with close follow-up based on literature However, routine surveillance enables detection of asymptomatic recurrences. Systemic/palliative treatment has advanced over the last years but only patient with sufficient performance status is eligible; therefore, routine surveillance may improve the likelihood of detecting recurrence at a point when patients are well enough to receive chemotherapy. Goals and Recommendations for Unresectable Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas 1. Maintain or improve the patient s quality of life (control or delay onset of tumour-related symptoms). 2. To prolong life, if possible. 3. Relieve biliary obstruction, if possible, by a. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with stent placement, b. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography with stent placement, or c. Palliative surgery. 4. Relieve pain with analgesics, celiac ganglion ablation (either percutaneous or endoscopic splanchniccectomy), or radiation. 5. Consider treatment on a clinical trial, if available. 6. To provide early access to palliative care services when appropriate. Page 5 of 11

6 Table 3. Management Recommendations for Unresectable Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas. Stage Locally Advanced Stage III T4NanyM0 Metastatic Disease Stage IV TanyNanyM1 Recommendations First line treatment A discussion addressing patient preferences concerning the balance of toxicity and efficacy should guide the decision for first line therapy for patients with good performance status. FOLFIRINOX For carefully selected patients with metastatic disease, performance status (ECOG 0 or 1), age 75 years, and a normal or nearly normal bilirubin, FOLFIRINOX prolongs overall survival (11.1 months versus 6.8 months, HR 0.57, 95% CI , p = ) and delays the deterioration in quality of life when compared to Gemcitabine alone. 11,12 The rate of grade 3/4 toxicities emphasizes the need for education, monitoring, and active management (see Table 4 and 5 below). It should only be administered in the Tertiary or Regional Cancer Centres. The Provincial Gastrointestinal Tumour Team agree that FOLFIRINOX may also be considered for patients with locally advanced disease given that a high response rate may result in the conversion of some patients to resectable disease. At present, no randomized studies have explored the use of FOLFIRINOX in locally advanced pancreatic cancer patients (see Appendix A for a list of current clinical trials using this regimen). Several retrospective reviews have demonstrated the efficacy and tolerability of FOLFIRINOX in this patient group, despite the use of dose modifications and adverse events nab-paclitaxel plus Gemcitabine Patients may also be considered for treatment with nab-paclitaxel plus Gemcitabine. An international, phase III trial of 861 metastatic pancreatic cancer patients compared the efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel plus Gemcitabine versus Gemcitabine alone. 16 Median overall survival was 8.5 months in the intervention arm compared to 6.7 months in the control arm (HR 0.72, 95% CI , p<0.001). Median progression-free survival was 5.5 months versus 3.7 months in the nab-paclitaxel plus Gemcitabine versus Gemcitabine alone group, respectively (HR 0.69, 95% CI , p<0.001). According to independent review, the response rate was 23% versus 7% in the nab-paclitaxel plus Gemcitabine group versus the control group, respectively (p<0.001). The Provincial Gastrointestinal Tumour Team adapts the eligibility criteria based on the above mentioned phase III study. 16 The Provincial Gastrointestinal Tumour Team agree that nab-paclitaxel plus Gemcitabine may also be considered for patients with locally advanced disease. Patients eligible for nab-paclitaxel plus Gemcitabine should meet the following criteria: 18 years of age Karnofsky performance status score 70 Have not previously received chemotherapy for metastatic disease (patient could have received treatment with Fluorouracil or Gemcitabine as a radiation sensitizer in the adjuvant setting if the treatment had been received at least 6 months ago) Have histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic or locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the pancreas Have adequate hematologic, hepatic, and renal function, including: o Absolute neutrophil count of 1.5x10 9 per litre o Hemoglobin level of 9 g per deciliter o Bilirubin level at or below the upper limit of the normal range Gemcitabine For patients with a performance status of ECOG 2, Gemcitabine (1,000 mg/m 2 IV over thirty minutes once weekly for seven of eight weeks and subsequently weekly for three of four weeks) has been shown to offer a clinical benefit response (improvement in pain, performance status, and weight) in 23.8%. 17,18 In addition, it may prolong median survival (to 5.65 months) and improve twelve-month survival (to 18%). Treatment should be continued until progression or until significant clinical deterioration secondary to tumour-related symptoms. Page 6 of 11

7 Stage Recommendations Second line treatment After progression on Gemcitabine, treatment with Leucovorin (200 mg/m 2 IV over thirty minutes) followed by a continuous intravenous infusion of 5-Fluorouracil (2,000 mg/m 2 over twenty-four hours) on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 with Oxaliplatin (85 mg/m 2 IV over two hours) on days 8 and 22 of every six week cycle ( OFF regimen) has been shown to increase median overall survival compared to Leucovorin and 5-Fluorouracil alone; from 3.3 months to 5.9 months (p =0.010) in patients with a good performance status. 19 Note that FOLFOX is not interchangeable with OFF as it has been shown to be inferior to Leucovorin and 5-Fluorouracil in terms of OS in the second line 20. Nanoliposomal irinotecan (80 mg/m², equivalent to 70 mg/m² of irinotecan base)with 5- Fluorouracil and Leucovorin is an acceptable second line treatment option and may be considered for use after Health Canada approval is obtained as the addition of nanoliposomal irinotecan increased median overall survival to 6.1m (95%CI ) compared to 4.2m (95%CI m) in the fluorouracil and folinic acid alone group (HR 0.67, 95% CI ; p=0.012). 12 FOLFIRINOX Regimen: 11 Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m 2 IV over two hours Leucovorin 400 mg/m 2 IV over two hours Irinotecan 180 mg/m 2 IV over ninety minutes 5-Fluorouracil 400 mg/m 2 IV bolus 5-Fluorouracil 2,400 mg/m 2 CIV over forty-six hours Table 4.
